Weird Things Humans Search For: An Adult Board Game About The Strange Side Of Google

Product Information

You get the start of a question and then provide two answers (a main one and a bonus one). If you get the top one right with your main answer you get awarded four points. If its an answer somewhere else in the list, you get two points. Your bonus answer only gets one point regardless of where it is in the list. Here is an example of the questions: “should I let my husband…” (watch game of thrones!) or “can you get a tan from…” (a hair dryer!). The build quality of the cards and other components is high without being over the top, although the search cards are a bit thin and susceptible to damage. That’s kind of understandable given how many of them there are, which is a key factor in keeping Weird Things a viable game to replay. There is nothing worse in a game like this than when someone already knows the answer to some of the searches simply because they’ve played the game too many times and seen it all before. First and foremost, Weird Things Humans Search For ( Weird Things ) is a party game that takes a very straightforward approach and delivers a relatively minimal structure, with the focus instead being to simply create a structure for people to play and experiment in. Of course, Weird Things does have rules and scoring criteria etc, but you might choose to change them, introduce house rules and so on, which I feel the game encourages somewhat (whether intentionally or not.) The internet is a strange place. You can pretty much find anything onlinefrom the mundane to the weird, from thewonderfulto thefunny. The internet is at our fingertips with 4G and smart phones meaning that more than ever people are using the internet day in and day out and we are becoming an increasingly“connected” world.As it turns outas weird asthe internet can be, the things that we search for can be even weirder. Weird Things Humans Search For gives you an insight in to just strange and weird the things we search for are.

The only other comment I’d like to make about Weird Things is that I wish there had been some way of designing the game so that it didn’t need the host role. It can be fun as the host if you really get into it (and I do, since it’s my copy of the game) but it’s also slightly exclusive and it also effectively reduces the headcount by one. On the inverse of this point, I did take Weird Things to work and played it with two teams of more than five people each, which was a blast. In that setting, the idea of having an independent host acting as an independent and interactive referee proved to be really good fun. Players are divided in to two teams with an independent player reading the card. The teams have60 seconds to come up with two answers and rank them as their main answer and a bonus answer. Players are trying to find the most popular phrase by completing the rest of the search. Points are awarded if they guess the most popular answer (four points), if there answer is on the card but not the most popular (two points) and if there bonus answer is anywhere on the card (one point). The Weird Things Humans Search For Mini Board Game is for 3-20 players to enjoy. This search revealing board game features 70 cards, ideal for lightweight travel. Weird Things Humans Search For Mini Gameplay Once the game begins, it’s also very good fun for a certain period of time. I’d suggest that it works well as one of maybe three or four different party games that are enjoyed for maybe an hour or so each. It’s fast and funny, generating lots of laughs and quite a lot of discussion/disbelief (since not a lot of the search answers make sense in the traditional way.) It does run out of steam though, because whilst there are certainly more search cards than you’ll ever get through, the formula does eventually get a little bit repetitive. Then, tally up the points! If a team guesses the most popular search, they score four points, the second most popular is three and anything after that scores two. If a bonus guess appears on the list - no matter where - one more point will be scored.

It’s hard to wax lyrical about the contents of Weird Things , since the box contains a relatively straightforward set of components. On the subject of the box, Weird Things features perhaps one of Big Potato Games’ most low-key boxes, despite being attractively marketed in illuminous orange with bold white lettering. There’s a snazzy, brief manual that achieves what it needs to in suitably few words, but aside from the proposed scoring criteria, there’s little in it that you couldn’t have simply guessed at having understood the concept.

Like most party games, the rules are simple. Grab your friends, choose a player to be the question master, then split up into teams. Grab a new search card and start the next round! The team with the most points after five rounds wins! Being a great host or hostess takes a lot of work: you have to prepare food and drinks, create an ambiance in your space that is both fun and inviting, and, if you don't want your event to become a snoozefest, supply some entertainment, too.

Party games are among the best ways to keep your guests entertained for hours on end—and we've rounded up the best ones on the market, whether you're hosting an intimate gathering with your inner circle or a larger event with folks you're eager to befriend. 10 Best Party Games Is the queen a… mechanic?

The Search Master will then begin the game by reading out a popular internet search found at the top of the card. Now it’s time for you to grab your friends, split into teams and start second-guessing exactly how strange the human race can be. If you want to win, you’ll have to take on searches about all sorts of topics: from memes to dinosaurs, pet frogs to sumo wrestlers.

I never do particularly well at this game. However, I still find it quite interesting to play. It surprises me what bizarre things people have searched for. My search history would look rather tame in comparison. So, if you want a game that enlightens this is it! Once everyone is finished with their guesses, the Search Master will read out the searches from most popular to least. Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you.Your main answer is the one you want to be extra sure about.
